Vietnam’s impeccable journey to SEA Games men’s football glory
Vietnam (in red) entered SEA Games 31 with lots of doubts, especially after the U23 team suffered a poor performance at the friendly Dubai Cup, where they ranked 9th out 10 teams. In the first game, Vietnam played Indonesia, a contender for the gold medal in this SEA Games. Indonesia’s defensive approach caused many difficulties for Vietnam in the first half. But in the second half, the overage players helped Vietnam break the tie, with goals from Nguyen Tien Linh and Do Hung Dung, before Le Van Do secured the 3-0 win for the hosts. Coach Park Hang-seo and his assistants celebrated when Hung Dung made it 2-0. This was a special game for Park since his opponent was fellow South Korean coach, Shin Tae-yong. However, in the next game with the Philippines, problems started to show. Although Vietnam dominated with 80 percent possession and dozens of shots, they couldn’t find a way to score on a rainy night at Viet Tri … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s impeccable journey to SEA Games men’s football glory
